her dad talks about being proud of her, because he’s a bit of a knob himself.
the whole family is about money, and getting paid as much as possible for contributing as little as possible to the world. So yep, they are proud of her, but I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
Jeremy Clarkson has a huge chip on his shoulder about his lack of academic ability and Em’s lack of academic ability. Absolutely huge. That’s why he has to tweet about it constantly and talk about it. That’s why he bragged about nepotism making an education redundant. He knows he and has family have nothing of real value to offer the world, so they graft instead.
I’d say he’s glad she still makes money despite not getting much out of her expensive education, because he holds it in disdain since both he and his children failed at it.
